Hair and Makeup on Your Wedding Day Part 14

[sparklingjewel]

^Daming good reviews ni Nini. Parang i wanna get her na for my entourage, kaso alangan padin kasi she will be coming from an earlier wedding at papaunahin nalang daw nya 2 assistants nya. Anyone with experience sa tao nya? Ok lang naman kasi sakin ndi sya gumawa kasi trained nya yung iba, kabado lang sa sched. Nale-late ba sya or team nya?

[shygirlme]

^hi sis I got Nini's team ok sila hindi sila late. 7am usapan nasa hotel na sila 7am sharp.

^^sis sparklingjewel, ok lang yon kase her team are also good. Noong nag-maid of honor ako sa cousin ko, si Nini recommended ko to do our hair and makeup, ayaw kase naman doon sa gay artist ni cousin, so I checked it with Nini if pwede siya, sabi niya may prior event siya pero kung ok sa amen paunahin niya ang team then susunod siya. So, her team arrived inumpisahan na ibang entourage then after few minutes dumating na si Nini so, siya nag-makeup saken kase I really waited for her hehe, overall ang gaganda namen pati yong inuyasan ng team niya, and maaga pa natapos hair and makeup. Kaya niya kase pinapauna team niya if may event siya is para daw wag magahol satime kumbaga may nasisimulan na agad ayusa hair, makeup etc.

Nini promised me na ako lang daw client nya sa date na yon. +10 heads kasi ako so baka magahol if may prior event sya. Thanks mga sissies sa mga reviews sa kanya:)

Has anyone tried Angie cruz of Shu Uemura? Talaga bnag wall siyang contract just an acknowledgment receipt? Its what she texted me tee hee!

I got Albert Kurniawan for me and 2 moms (50K), his OOT fee is 20K and bride only rate is 40K so makes sense to book bride+2 instead. For my groom and 2 dads we have the spoiled groom Platform package (5K for groom only) which includes haircut/trim/define, hair treatment, hot towel shave, singe, grooming manlycure and face/head/back massages. If I'm getting dolled up dapat my groom din because it would look napabayaan and bagong gising if normal powder/gel lang my groom.

Hi! newbie po. 

I'm getting marriedthis coming November 2015 and until now wala pa ako makitang HMUA.

Thanks po.

^yannuh, sophiehotness, shygirl, thanks for the feedback. I'm really grateful there are so many of you helpful girls here. Unfortunately, im surprised to have also received several personal messages giving feedback about Nini in my inbox which were 100% all negative naman in contrast to this thread. This is a first as I've backread narin before I even shortlisted Nini.. But I would understand why they didn't want to post it nalang here, to avoid conflict narin siguro sa mga naging iba ang experience sa kanya. You girls know who you are, im equally thankful for the feedback and for sincerely caring about me.

Because of the mixed reviews, I'm now leaning towards getting Elitista Basement, Froilan Erik, Abbie Ferraren for my entourage. Any feedback about Abbie? Havent seen her work. I need pics sana so i can let my ento choose whose work they like best. TIA!

[yannuh]

^Just do not mention the sender's names pero baka you can just run us through kung anong mga nega feedbacks para we can be prepared if ever mangyari sya smen:) thanks sis!

[sparklingjewel]

^Three different regulars on GT (so hindi dummy account) nagPM sakin out of concern. Parang alam na daw nila na di ako masasatisfy kay Nini based on my standards haha. But I've never met Nini ha, sila lang nagsabi based on how they know me on GT.

Anyway, feedback can be summarized as:
1. Sends assistants ahead promising to follow kasi may earlier wedding sya. Pero di na sya dumating as promised. Assistants left early and didnt even finish all the heads needed. Di magaling yung assistants.
2. A popular coordinator who used to recommend her no longer does bec of negative experience ng bride nya (same as above)
3. Subpar quality of makeup, deteriorates after a few hours lang even in cool weather
4. Used drugstore brands of makeup

Actually to be perfectly honest, im not after Albert K level ng makeup kasi for ento lang naman ako naghahanap. Pero I want to make sure na dadating sya and/or gagawin ng assistants nya yung trabaho nang maayos. 2nd wedding na nya kasi ako for the day if ever like these other brides. Pero based on multiple feedback na sablay sya sa ganitong scenario, i wont take the risk nalang.

Nakaka-concern din is that two of them said na the asisstants leave agad without finishing all the heads needed. OOT wedding ako, ano ipapasalon ko sila if that happens?!

Anyway im sorry for being nega, but you wanted to know so i hope this helps. Best of luck sis.

[shygirlme]

^hi sis if 2nd wedding ka nya that day wag mo na nga sya kunin. Sorry pero ako mas gusto ko sa supplier na ako lang client that day. Ayoko ng nagmamadali or late. So sad to hear na may bad feedback si Nini sa ibang clients. May supplier talaga na hindi consistent

[yannuh]

Thanks sis sparklingjewel. Inaassure naman nya na ako lang event nya on that day and hindi na sya tatanggap ng ibang bookings. Yup sis shygirlme, mas scary naman if walang kahit 1 nega feedback sa supplier, kahit gano man sya kagaling. Happy pa din ako kay Nini:)

Hi, newbie here. sino na po ang nakapag try kay shin chua? any feedback?

Hi. Shin Chua did my make up for a formal event okay naman siya magaan ang kaman and super kinis. Shes not that expensive around Php1500 for traditional. Shes a mainstay mua of ABC 5 so advise her ahead of time if you will book her. If you plan to book her, make sure lang nasa contract that she wont have any commitments on the same day. Mine kase I had to pick her up para hinde kame malate.

Sana nga talaga sis. I would be livid kung para siyang Dreamechanics na sasabihan ka na one event per day tapos behind your back nagddouble book tapos split nalang teams! I sincerely hope she fulfills her promise to you.

I also think impossible that suppliers are 100% perfect. So kahit papano may bad review. Pero kung may consistency sa bad review tama lang ma-concern.

[bzbee]

^ sis natawa naman ako, basta double booking = dreamechanics agad! lol

i found a makeup artist for my ento, she's from makati and only charges 850/head. she was highly recommended by a friend na regular client niya though she hasn't built a portfolio yet kaya i can't show her works pa here. balak ko magpa-trial makeup on the next wedding na pupuntahan namin. another option is elitista basement at 900/head. my hmua tippy also offered to do my ento makeup at 1k/head (promo rate) but i just want to get a separate hmua for them para focused lang si tippy and his team saken. still looking for more options that im can offer to my ento. kasama kasi namin sila sa hotel during preps but i can't pay for their hmua anymore.

[sparklingjewel]

^Totoo, top of mind ko na sila dyan after what happened with sis Chili1113 and juwie and the poor girl from the other forum. Allergic na ako sa ganyang cases. Kawawa sino gumawa niyan sakin. lol

Anyhoo, I'm still on the lookout for affordable ento HMUA too. Want to give my ento several choices para they can choose. Elitista, along with Froilan Erik, is one of my options kaso di na nagrereply.. sakin basta no OOT for Tagaytay go na haha.

[twinxz]

^Jen Gumban of Elitista Basement hasn't been responding to my follow ups since May for the revised contract. I don't know the reason but I still trust her that she will be there on our wedding.

[sparklingjewel]

^Oh no!! Akala ko sandali lang sila di magrereply haha sakin more than a week palang. Kakakaba I was offering her pa naman to my ento as one of the choices. I think i really need to look for more options.. i hate unresponsive suppliers! Di na sila dapat mag accept more if they cant handle properly what they have on their plate..

[prettygretchen]

Who is your trusted mua sa tagaytay?
